robbe transmitters
« on: March 31, 2015, 09:39:20 pm »

Guys,


has anyone here "upgraded" a Robbe Transmitter to use a lipo battery instead of the nicad/nimh that they come stock with?  i have done it with my futaba radios, and presume there shouldn't be a problem, but just want to make sure.


thanks

I used 3S lipo in my FC16, no issues.

No worries with lipo's just remember there is no volt meter keep an eye on the level of charge.


I have converted my F14 Navy to 2.4ghz as well

If I was buying new, I would go for lifePO4 batteries, as they'll work in conjunction with the low voltage indicator, and are less sensitive to deep discharge. plus they're closer to the nicad/NiMH voltage.

thanks guys, mine doesn't have a low voltage indicator that i am aware of  (at least i've never heard it)...  it does display the voltage of the battery on the LCD...   i will keep an eye on that and charge when appropriate.

My fc16 certainly does. Beeps continuously once the batts drop down below a threshold.
